lyrics

"Rockabilly Gal"
- Rio Scafone & Seán Eric Harris -
Lyrics by Rio Scafone

Well she's a real nice lady
but a lady with a mean mean voice
Wanda rocks real hard making lots of noise
Cherry bomb baby, don't need to be coy
She can wail real hard with the best of the boys
A real nice lady but a lady with a mean mean voice

She was sugar and spice
With a voice like pure moonshine
When the man in black said "June, you're gonna be mine."
Said, "Hey now, Johnny, don't you waste my time.
You wanna be with me then walk that line."
Yeah, sugar and spice with a voice like pure moonshine

Refrain:
She's a rockabilly gal, got the 'billy down in her soul
Rockabilly gal, make them scream for more
Rockabilly gal, one of a kind
She's a whole lotta woman, gonna blow your mind
She's a rockabilly gal got the 'billy down in her soul

[Guitar Solo]

She was a sweet young thing, star by age fifteen
Elvis lost his mind when he heard her sing
Said, "Hey there Janice, they call me the King.
Do me the honor, would you be my Queen?"
Sweet young thing, star by age fifteen

[Refrain]
[Sax Solo]

Yeah!
[Refrain]
Rockabilly gal, she's one of a kind
She's gonna BLOW
Rockabilly gal ... She's a rockabilly gal ...
She's a rockabilly gal ... She's a rockabilly gal ...
She's a rockabilly gal, got the 'billy down in her soul
